Rare Variegated Philodendron Florida Beauty in 6 Pot - from California Tropicals

The Philodendron Florida Beauty Variegated is a stunning houseplant known for its remarkable foliage. Its leaves are typically heart-shaped or oval, and can grow quite large, reaching up to 12 inches (30 cm) or more in length. The true beauty of this cultivar lies in its variegation, which consists of shades of green, cream, and sometimes white. The variegation can be marbled or splashed across the leaves, adding a unique and visually appealing touch to the plant.

As a climbing or trailing plant, the Florida Beauty Variegated produces long vines that can be trained to climb or allowed to cascade down from hanging baskets or elevated surfaces. With proper support, it can grow several feet long, creating an impressive display. To ensure the plant thrives, it requires bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, its variegation may become less pronounced, and growth may slow down. It's important to avoid exposing the plant to direct sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves.

Watering the Florida Beauty Variegated is a balance act. Water the plant when the top inch or so of the soil feels dry to the touch, ensuring thorough watering and allowing excess water to drain away to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Philodendrons generally prefer warm and humid environments, so maintaining temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C) and providing moderate to high humidity levels is essential for optimal growth. Misting the leaves or placing a humidifier nearby can help create the ideal conditions.

To support healthy growth, use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter and fertilize the plant during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-4 weeks. The Florida Beauty Variegated can also be propagated through stem cuttings, with the cuttings placed in water or moist potting mix until roots develop.

All of our listings include very representative pictures of the plant you will receive. The Philodendron Florida Beauty Variegated comes in a 6" pot, ready to be added to your beautiful home or office. It makes a perfect gift for any occasion, and with proper care, it can thrive and bring a touch of tropical elegance to any space.
